Objective

To use the Basic Resource Model Wizard to create a complete resource model from either a CIM class taken from the WMI repository, a monitoring collection, or a custom script.

Background information

If you create a resource model using the basic resource model creation wizard, you do not have to write any scripts or code. A resource model created using the wizard is just like any other resource model. After creating it, you can modify and customize it by editing the decision tree script, adding parameters, or writing filtering queries.

The Basic Resource Model Wizard enables you to create a resource model starting from the following contexts:

Before you begin

You must create a Tivoli Management Project before you can create a resource model with the wizard. Perform the following steps to create a Tivoli Management Project:

  1. Select File from the toolbar to display the File drop-down list.
  2. Select New from the toolbar to display the New pop-up list.
  3. Select Project to display the New Project window.
  4. Select Tivoli Management Project from the left field to display it in the right field.
  5. Click on Tivoli Management Project in the right field to highlight the name.
  6. Click Next to display the Project Name window.
  7. Enter a name for the project in the Project name text box.
  8. (Optional) Clear the Use default check box and specify a different directory location for the project.
  9. Click Finish.

When you finish

Check the Tasks view to verify that you do not have any errors in your resource model. If the Tasks view displays errors, correct the errors before running the resource model. The Tasks view displays in the bottom pane of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.
